Of them prefer an outside grandeur

of her position in proportion to the ex-

How They May Secsre CGntentInent and
Attain Great Age.
In the matter of advice, old men have
been neglected. Young men, girls,
married women and boys have all re-
ccive,l the philanthropic attention OF
newspaper writers, burt it seems that
no one has the time To drop few use
fal hints 10 the man Who has done
so much for the world. The following
suggestions are freely given:
Old men should be careful of their
health. They should not go to the
tlieater in damp weather without a
shirt 1t is also advisable to wear
something on the feet.
Old men will find it to their interest
not to remain on railroad track until
after train has passed. Well-read
physicians now generally agree that
heavy freight trains, especially late at
night, are hard to digest.
OLD men. especially in a cold climate,
should not go in swimming until after
the first Of January, nor recline on ice
in the evening.
An old man should marry very

there is nothing in life after all, and

GOLD AND SILVER.
Marked Growth I'm 1889 In the Productio
Of the Prpciuua Metals

Marked Growth In 1888 In the Production
OF the Precious Metals.
Statistics compiled by the Well-Fargo
Express Company show that in the
great mining region west of the Missis-
sippi the production of precious metals
enjoyed period of marked growth in
1885. The yield of silver, not counting
the receipts from Mexico, was S52, 1885,
8jl, or $4,003,8l2 more than in 1892,
the best preceding year. The gain
over 1885 was $500, 252, or about II
per cent. These figures, il should be
borne in mind, are in values measured
by the gold standard. and the increase
in the weight of bullion was proper
tionately much greater. the price of
silver having been unprecedeutedly
low last year. As compared with the
average anpual production of the last
fifteen years. 1886 shows a gain of
about S16, 900, 900. or 40 per cent, speak
ing roughly.
Last year showed handsome gain
llso in the production of gold over the
three just preceding. but in the long
run the yield of this metal in the United
States is gradually decreasing. II
gradually rose in the region west of the
Mississippi from s53, I50. 600 in 1870 TO
= i,SS0,0o0 in 1877, and then fell
steadily to $25. 1873. .567 In 1891. In 1885
I rose To $26, 1913. 7J6, and last wear
here was further advance to S2g,-
j6l, ,424, the increase over the previous
year having been $3,167 ,66S. or about
II per cent, In gold, as well as II,
silver, the prospects of the present
year are encouraging, and, even with
out the possible discovery of now min
ing districts, there may be another
handsome gain. 1t is certain that .he
resources of the United States. in this
metal have not yet been very
thoroughly tested or approached ex-
haustion, and altogether the mining
interests of the F ar West are evidently
holding their own with the other great
